[Poll] How many games does this team win next season?

franchise player

 

You are insinuating that teammates and personnel of each player
are comparable and equal:

Stat..........Toronto........Houston
DRtg............12th..............29th
ORtg............11th..............27th
Pace............26th.............16th
Pts...............24th.............28th
Coach.........Nurse...........Silas
.................................."Tanking...didn't implement movement until 3/4 of season
....(Tor) often played zone def

 

You really have to scrape everything that happened over the last two years. The suppression of potential and talent by Silas is finally getting unlocked.

Realistically I am expecting 35 to 40 wins this year. Anything below 30 would be a total disappointment and would finally question the team players, especially the guys that have been drafted over the last 3 years. Even without Brooks and FVV we were a 30+ team last year IMO.

Add Ime, new additions, and subtract folks who got shipped this year and we should at least win 35 games.

less than 30 games = disappointment, needs drastic changes.
30 to 35 games = minimal imporovement, need to add one superstar
35 plus games = on the right path, add another couple of solid guys, keep core
40 plus games = exceptional, keep most guys, look to improve bench

 

That stat is either bugged or useless. I suggest you click the next page button and see all the players it says adds 0 wins.

 

Raptor rating handicaps for teammates and opponents, that’s why it is much more useful than whatever garbage stats you were using to suggest kpj is equal to fvv or Brunson. I’m one of the few people here who don’t hate kpj but that’s HILARIOUS!

 

FVV will save us!!!

 

Why would new orleans fall apart worse than last year? Zion going to miss the entire season and Ingram going to miss 50 games this year??

 

I just don't pull stats out of behind.

I ask the most basic question of all, "Why?"

This is why guys like you and M.I.T. types fail.
You just peat and repeat stats.

If player x got this stat on team c.....they will be the same.....wrong.

Are you going to bring long wingspan players that are mobile like Siakim, Precious, Blanton, Barnes, Bouher, Poeltl, OG Anunoby, Trent with him?

3 teams play high level zones over the years,
Heat, Warriors and Raptors. Raptors used Gasol near the rim and flanked him with Kawhi and Siakim, Ibaka. So no Raptor doesn't work when you only consider 3 top notch defense out 30 predominantly using Zone defenses.

I have the ability to envision one player playing on another team and switching places with another player. VanVleet numbers would go down playing on that Rockets team last year. Deflections and steals would be decreased. Their fans say he gets credit for blocks as he actually steals the ball stripping bigs. But he also gets steals roaming in help defense in those zones flanked by long wing players everywhere on that Raptor team.

Not the same luxury in Houston last year.

Dillon will help and Landslide.....but again
Our you guys will take about half the season to start getting it. You don't just throw zone defenses at high level and they get it over night. Amen probably never faced zone in overtime elite.
And those players were God awful on defense.
The laid out the red carpet yo the rim every play.

KPj would have had more deflections, blocks, steals playing for Toronto. And more assists

 

I would put my expectations at ~35. There were so many games last year where we were up at halftime before completely breaking down in the 2nd half. I think a more disciplined defense under Ime will allow us to convert on a lot of those closer games.

 

I no idea how you are writing essays on this when you have never even seen fvv play. That’s why you keep on bringing up salty Raptor fans takes on him instead of forming any of your own opinions, cuz you don’t even know who you are talking about.

 

Dummy, I was watching FVV play all season because we were targeting PG's for two years
with this off-season in mind.

The fans opinions matched what I saw.
His own interviews.

I'm done talking to your dumb non informed @$$

Watch the Athletic video on the Rockets.

Guy on left bottom quadrant gets it. And none think the Rockets will make play in

 

From someone who thinks kpj is on the same area code as fvv or Brunson calling anyone else uninformed is RICH. IDIOT thinks he knows more than Udoka who said number 1 priority was to get a point guard here to replace your boy. Wish I could take back my bet with @YOLO so that I can delete your ass from here instead. You want to take the under on 35 wins instead since you are so confident?

 

Guy on left bottom is a fking MORON. Sign one year deals and push cap back to next offseason? These same idiots were the ones crying about how much of a joke our culture was and how dysfunctional the team was and now he’s crying that we signed good players to change that? If you push the cap back a year you waste another year of development by your young core playing without any competent point guard, and what happens if you miss out on FAs again next year, push it out again? Absolute arm chair quarterback idiot that is hindsight 20/20 and does not take into account real world consequences whatsoever. Btw what FAs did we exactly miss out on anyways according to him? We CHOSE Fvv over Harden, he was our top target and we got him. Lopez was the only FA we missed on and we did indeed signed one year contracts of Landale and Jeff green in his place. It’s no wonder you agree with this dude with the tiny ass brain.

 

Im looking dead at Udoka and NONE of the players if this team wins 30 or less games. This is all on him and depending on an upgrade being available I'd fire his ass first day of the offseason if it happens. He's supposed to be "HIM" as far as coaching - everyone's #1 guy so it will be curious to see how it all shakes out. He's got "his" players (whom Stone paid handsomely) the expectation should be that they play the way he intends so IMO there really shouldnt be any reason why this team wins less than 40 games and is in the play in hunt. Anything less will be a colossal failure.

 

lol. I can't stand AW. Him and his novels are some of the biggest frauds on CF's

 

So far 70+% of the votes think we improve by more than 10 wins and it seems like quite a few of the posts are expecting that as a baseline and that only 10 wins more would actually be a disappointment.

Some going as far as 40 wins should be the expectation.

This is not a roster that should win 40 games, it’s one that could approach 40 if almost everything goes right(which almost never does). Looking at the teams that won 35-40 games last year…OKC, Dallas, Utah, Indy, Chicago ….Everyone has a player better than our best. Some of those teams 2nd best player would be our best.

 

The excuses for Udoka and FVV begin! What a time to be alive!

 

You you on ignore with Yolo and Reeko.

Learn basketball before you run your mouth.

 

Nobody fcking cares Apachemoron
